Family therapy and counseling in Baton Rouge, LA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping people, like you, to create meaningful change. I enjoy providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families. Some of my clients have reported feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, anxious, or stuck. I spent 14 years in long term and acute care inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings and 11 years in neurological rehabilitation. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisiana and master’s degree from LSU.

I have been practicing social work for 15 years with the last 3 in the field of counseling/therapy. I attended Southern University and A&M College and Tulane University's School of Social Work where I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s of Science in Social Work degrees respectively. I have worked in what is considered the trenches, community health, and now healthcare. Helping you reach your goal is my passion.

Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating-it's simply a space to talk, reflect, and grow. If you're ready to start that process, I'm here to help you take the next step. I work with adults and adolescents facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, end of life, and relationship issues.

I received my master's degree in social work from Louisiana State University, and I am clinically licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas. I am an Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Social Worker with an extensive background in medical social work. I also, have inpatient adult psychiatric experience. Currently, I provide therapeutic interventions to adolescents in a high school-based health center.

I utilize practical, evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), problem solving/solution-focused techniques, and strength-based approaches to help manage negative symptoms.
